"cross me" lyrics

This image will fade
But as of now it's tattooed in my brain
Carved with the sharpest blade
All colors washed out
Into shades of grey

He took the light of day
Now it flickers I
Can't look away
You settle for none
And I see it now
I feel it now

I stand up straight
I am no man but there's wire in my veins
I won't settle for this
I won't build my existence on a silent kiss
It's a funny game
You go soft and I go
Break the chain
So we settle for life
Or we let this all pass by

It's not easy now
But times that have been
Was time well spent
This is real life
So when all is said
You will earn from it

It's not easy now
As our bodies descend
And time comes to end
This was real life
So when all is said
You can't learn from it
